barrelfuls
Multiple container loads
Barrelfuls is the plural of barrelful—the amount that fills a barrel.
Like other container measurements, it often describes large quantities loosely rather than precisely: They hauled barrelfuls of apples from the orchard.
The alternative plural barrelsful exists but is less common.
